The athletes' costumes of the Chinese Olympic sports delegation officially appeared on the 28 th.

The release of sportswear has surprised many people, but many people do not know that the design inspiration of these sportswear is actually from the terracotta warriors.

On the 28 day, when the sportswear was released, many people began to ask the inspiration of clothing design, because for many Chinese people, these costumes were unique and familiar.

"The designers communicated with Chinese athletes, and their patriotic feelings and dedication led the designers to think of Terracotta Army in Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor".

Wang Hong, Nike communications manager in China, said: "throughout the ages, people believe that the most important quality of a hero is dedication to his country and people. Therefore, the elements involved in Terracotta Army naturally become the source of inspiration for designers."

Wang Hong said that in addition to the familiar Terracotta Army, another inspiration for the whole idea comes from the mask buried with Terracotta Army, which is also a pattern on the Chinese door knocker.

The mask is carved with "soldier's head".

Design inspiration also comes from China's bright colors, forming the Chinese team uniform red and yellow color matching.

Red comes from the color of the flag, and yellow represents the color of the five pointed star on the flag.

In addition, the inner side of the uniform is printed with only the words that the athletes can see. It is the two representative lyrics of the National Anthem: "rising" and "advancing", printed on the left chest of the match uniform, and it is also a "heart saying" designed especially for athletes.

According to the regulations, the name of the country must be displayed in English. The designer has designed a Chinese symbol for the central part of the uniform.

At the Olympic Games, a total of 639 athletes from China's sports delegation will be provided by different sponsors.

Nike is one of the sponsors and is responsible for the design of team uniform in track and field, basketball, boxing and canoeing.

Wang Hong told reporters that as early as 4 years ago, Nike launched relevant design projects and selected world-class designers in the world. "Some designers in China, some designers are far from Europe and America".

Since the sportswear this time involves 22 sports teams and hundreds of athletes in China's 28 sports delegations, although the design has followed different requirements of each sports team, it can not be tailored to each athlete except men's basketball and very few items. "Just like when we go shopping to buy clothes, these clothes are also divided into large, small, large and extra large ones.

The most striking of these costumes is Liu Xiang's new robe.

Wang Hong told reporters that in theory, the resistance of the latest race suit is 7% lower than that of Liu Xiang's Athens Olympic Games, which is equivalent to 0.02 seconds for a sprinter.

It is reported that Liu Xiang designed the equipment for the Beijing Olympic Games is a special team. During the Olympic Games, Liu Xiang's sports shorts and vests were also specially designed.

Liu Xiang's short coat, in addition to the pattern on the vest and the track and field team, was designed separately.

The costume of this competition is not only light in weight, but also designed by the designer.

Wang Hong told reporters that the match suit of Chinese flying man is like a piece of paper. All the seams of the match suit are in the back. This design is designed to reduce the wind resistance.

However, Liu Xiang said he did not like such a race suit, "it is difficult to wear it, and it is difficult to take off."

It seems that we need to pay a price if we want to hurry up.

The influence of "big name" is endless. Wang Hong told reporters that in the design, "the entire track and field team's clothing was designed by Liu Xiang's proposal, thus reducing the fabric and reducing the wind resistance to a certain extent."

"The Chinese men's basketball is basically tailor-made, but Yao Ming is excepted," Wang Hong said.

Because Yao Ming has been playing in the United States, the designer of the men's basketball team can not go to the United States to "tailor" for Yao Ming.

Despite the fact that Yao Ming was "aggrieved" at this point, Yao Ming's sportswear was also made in size according to its size, and there was no problem in size and comfort.

In addition, "men's basketball equipment and lower body are 548 yuan each, sports shoes are 1250 yuan a pair, absolutely not the outsiders say sky high price, men's basketball Olympic equipment, fans will be able to buy in some stores."

However, Yao Ming did not wear Nike's sports shoes like everyone else, but wore his own signing sports brand Reebok.

In order to create the best quality Nike track and field suit, Nike designers have tested and classified over 200 kinds of fabrics.

In order to achieve accurate fitness effect, designers need more than 10 kinds of fit design for male and female athletes.

The joints were either removed directly or moved to the back of the sportswear, and the joints retained were all designed with flat joints to prevent friction.

Another innovation of the sportswear is the well-designed net layer system, which matches the back of the sportswear to enhance the air permeability.

Compared with the Nike competition suit in Athens Olympic Games, the latest competition clothing has reduced the resistance by 7%, perhaps the gap between the first and the fourth for the sprinters.

The sportswear has also set up another world record: the new sportswear is made of 100% recycled polyester yarn, which accords with the design principle of Nike's environmental protection concept.

The Chinese Olympic team's sportswear is sponsored by sports brands such as Adidas, Nike and Lining.

Nike sponsored the Olympic equipment for the 22 sports teams in China (28 Summer Olympics), and also included the clothing of famous athletes such as Liu Xiang and Yi Jianlian.

Lining provided competition clothing and equipment for Chinese Olympic team diving, gymnastics, table tennis and shooting four "dream teams".

In July 15th, Adidas announced the Chinese sports delegation's "lucky cloud" pattern in the Olympic Games.

These equipment, whether it is the auspicious pattern of Adidas's award dress, the Terracotta Army pattern of the Qin Dynasty in Nike's clothing, or the traditional Chinese red which is widely used in Lining's competition suit, and the complex modeling of oriental charm with peony, Ruyi moire, Phoenix, etc.

It shows that the three companies are playing the Chinese elements in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games equipment competition.
